Sanderson Design Group PLC announced a newly signed licensing agreement, in which J Sainsbury's Habitat brand will create a range of tableware and kitchen products based on Sanderson's National Trust collection of fabrics. Sanderson launched the collection in collaboration with the National Trust in 2020 since which time it has become one of the Sanderson brand's best-selling collections. Featuring prints inspired by landscapes and nature cared for by the National Trust, the collection shines a light on the beauty of nature and makes an important financial contribution to the conservation charity.

Since launch, Sanderson has contributed more than PS270,000 to the National Trust, assisting in the ongoing care of the 500 places it looks after. Under the new three-way agreement, Habitat has acquired the rights to use the collection's fabric designs to create tableware and kitchen accessories including mugs, dinnerware, tablecloths, napkins, placemats, tea towels, aprons and other products, which will be branded Habitat x Sanderson & National Trust. The agreement covers the UK and Northern Ireland, and the first tableware and kitchen products will be launched in the spring of 2025.

The Company will receive a royalty on Habitat's sales, which will be shared with the National Trust to further support their work in line with the Company's Live Beautiful strategy.
